Exegesis
The participle euphrainomenos {εὐφραινόμενος | eu-phrái-no-me-nos} functions circumstantially, describing his continual feasting, further qualified by the temporal phrase kath hēmeran {καθʼ ἡμέραν | kath hē-mé-ran} “every day” and intensified by the adverb lampros {λαμπρῶς | lam-prôs} to convey ostentatious indulgence. In translation, middle voice and imperfect aspects are rendered to preserve the nuance of repeated, self-directed action and ongoing enjoyment.
